Hello, my name is Demi Pope, i am 17 years of age and a 2nd dan black belt in the form of karate. I have trained in the art of karate for 12 years and i have been competing around the world since the age of 8. My family have always done their best to support me but competing abroad 3 times a year comes at a huge cost.

This October, i will be competing in the WUKF European Karate Championships. To do this, i need to raise over £1000 in order to pay for the cost of competing, hotel, flights and equipment.

please could you help me, no matter how small the donation, to achieve my dream of becoming a European champion, thank you.
